~ Scenario 1~
(Is continued exactly one week after the fall of Lavos-to be read in conjunction with the completion of Chrono Trigger-on Super NES)
Bells rang out merrily all across the village, and stretched across the calm rippling waves, which multiplied the ringing effortlessly.
The large golden bell, the Leene Bell being chimed upon, rang out joyously in the fairgrounds, Leene Square. The small population of it's village bustled about to have breath taking glimpse of the beautiful craftsmanship of the delicately carved bell, made so long ago, slowly swinging back and forth, reflecting the warm sun's rays.
It was still early morning, and the usually sleepy village, was up and about, either
tending to chores, or to hurry over to the fairgrounds to attend the special ceremony held
by the King Of Guardia and his daughter, the princess. It was to end the festival marking
Guardia's one thousandth year of which the settlement came into existence.
It was a small, perhaps nameless village that nearly surrounded Guardia Castle,
Where boredom was often allowed to creep upon its people, giving no such significance or importance to the tiny village. Recently though, a remarkable thing happened. As time passed and year one thousand drew nearer, a superb, spectacular showground was built and dubbed, "Leene Square".
It was open everyday since it's completion, yet not so much enjoyed as in the past few months.There were charity races, music that played freely, and many many occupying activities that drew travellers from far and near.
Upon approaching the now past celebration of year One Thousand the fair was expanded and remodelled to a finer degree, which drew a record breaking amount of sightsee-ers to witness the event and experience and thrill.
Leene Square was set in front of a couple of small mountains on the coastline,
Bordered by a line of fresh evergreen trees.
Thus the sleepy village had it's own attraction for boating, but was mostly known throughout the land for its showground.
But even at celebration time, the village still seemed quiet, with only the murmurs of voices that the wind seemed to carry endlessly. The bustling bodies preparing for the festival to end celebration time and the plain hard workers were determined not to neglect a day's work, but still have time to take in the excitement.
Yes, except for the tiny scattering of settlements around and behind Guardia's forests, nothing else was particularly worth mentioning. It was in the village's heart where anticipation and secrecy remained the most.
Tranquillity and excitement were mixed within the air. As with the smell of flowers
and the soft warm breeze, they too creating a sweet smelling aroma throughout the land.
"Chrono, would you get up?"
"But I'm so tired…..awww mom c'mon!"
Chrono's mother tore open the heavy drapes from his window, revealing the chaos and noise below, as well as the light. Half asleep, Chrono heard cheerful music and the musical rhythm of a bell in the distance.
Sunlight flooded in onto his face as Chrono struggled to open his eyes.He could hear his mother shuffling around, tidying up his clutter and piles of clothes strewn everywhere. After all, it was HIS room.
"How many times do I have to tell you to pick up your dirty clothes? And you complain about not having anything to wear!" His mother's snappy voice irritated his relaxed nerves and Chrono realised he wouldn't be going back to bed.
"Just leave it mom, I'll get it later," he mumbled sleepily, rubbing his eyes.
His mother cast him a sly smile as she arranged a pile of clothes in her arms."And
You never wear your jammies to bed anymore, do you? Coming home late at night and
falling into bed without changing is gross, dear,"
Chrono ignored her and stretched lazily..
"Up and at it lazy bones," his mother called out, and walked out of the room.
Chrono took a minute to let his brain adjust, then fell flat on his back, wrapping his arms around a pillow and nuzzling his face into it. He'd give anything to go back to sleep again and dream……and dream the day away with warm thoughts of things he'd wanted…
That's who Chrono was: a dreamer. He built his reality on things he wished to achieve. He learned a lot from his journey. And it was also his determination that vanquished the bloody evil from his world. His bravery that allowed him to control the flow of time-and no one knew a thing.
Of course, it really was a long story. As Chrono lay there, running his memory, he thought of the different people and places that empowered him. For he never destroyed Lavos alone. He never encouraged the flow of time by destroying a parasitism evil, alone.
But there wasn't a whole lot of resistance. In fact, hardly anyone knew what those people had done.
His seven, and only "friends".
Closing his eyes, he started to reminisce about the long vigorous journey's he'd had with the unusual friends he had made. And he hoped the day they all were reunitednever came.
"Sorry…."
